"So, let me get this straight," Nora said. "An hour ago I looked totally different and I wasn't completely your daughter?"

Nora, Caitlin and Barry were all seated in the STAR Labs lounge area with mugs of Jitters coffee. Caitlin had thought it would be a good idea to explain to Nora exactly what had happened, and Nora was more than eager to know all of the details.

Barry nodded in answer to her question. "Yeah," he agreed. "When you came back here, your mom was Iris... at least, I think she was. It's all kind of fading."

"It was Iris," Caitlin confirmed, though things in her head were starting to disappear, too. It was an odd sensation, like she suddenly couldn't remember something, but couldn't recall what it was that she was trying to remember.

But Caitlin did know that it was Iris who had originally been Nora's mother. It could have been that, as a scientist, her memory was just better than most peoples. But there was also the fact that Iris would have been the only woman to make sense as Nora's old mom. She was one of the only females that Barry knew at the moment, and beyond that, the only one he had ever had a serious relationship with.

"So you guys, like, aren't even together? Like married?" Nora continued. "And I influence your very first kiss? Sooooo schway."

Caitlin and Barry glanced at each other, before quickly looking away. Time travel was tricky. Nora's mind seemed to be completely wiped off nearly all the original memories that Barry and Caitlin were quickly loosing, replaced with new ones where Caitlin was her mom, and had always been her mom.

Relationships were tricky, too. Barry and Caitlin hadn't talked much about what had happened that afternoon, besides giving Nora the run down. Caitlin felt very strange about the whole thing. She had, of course, wanted to kiss Barry more than anything, but it felt rushed. Forced. It had to be done, to save Nora's life, but Caitlin would have wished for it to go a bit different.

They were still getting used to each other again, for starters. Barry had been gone from Caitlin's life (and she from his) for a long time. He had been in a serious relationship with Iris, and while it had been going on half a year sine they split up, he still wasn't sure if he wanted a new romance just yet. If he had to pick anyone, it would be Caitlin... but things were just incredibly complicated at the moment, and the kiss hadn't helped matters.

Once Nora was satisfied with their report of the events before her transformation, she skipped off to go get to know her reflection a little more. Caitlin and Barry sat, looking at one another.

Silence fell.

"So," Barry said finally. "How're you feeling about... all of this?"

Caitlin drew in a slow breath. "Um..." she started, before stopping and trying again. "I don't... I don't really know, Barry. This is all just really sudden and confusing and... I guess I just don't want to rush into anything. But we kind of have to, don't we? Nora is our daughter. The future's cemented again."

"Hey," Barry said gently, reaching over and putting a hand on her arm. "There is nothing here for you to worry about rushing into, okay? Like I said, we can go as slow as you need."

Caitlin nodded and little but stood up. His hand fell awkwardly from her arm and she couldn't quite look him in the face. "I'm going to take a walk, okay?" she told him. "Clear my head."

"Oh, okay," Barry replied, unable to hide the confusion and slight hurt in his voice.

Caitlin made for the exit.
